In the avantguarde and experimental music I try to find new forms of vocal expression using different vocal techniques. Patterns of sound, colours and noises evolve towards spoken word, instant poetry or song improvisations, they all melt together into a „language of expression“ that I like to define as Extended Voice Performance. I C.Cervenca

Born in Romania, experimental vocalist and performing artist Claudia Cervenca who has been living in Austria since 1990, loves to explore the human vocal potential. After studying jazz in Vienna, she finds increasingly more interest in free improvisation. She continually searches for sounds that are covering a large spectrum of qualities: from primitive, minimalist and fragile to unrefined, rough, noisy and guttural.

Claudia Cervenca filters influences from jazz, etno, noise, and contemporary music, and adds elements of a made-up language, words and poetry creating vocal soundscapes. Her performances evolve into an original artistic expression of free improvisation and experimental music.
